Chris’ Pick
I’m taking Marquette here. The Golden Eagles for me are just the better team and I’m not all that enthused with Purdue in this spot. We just saw Marquette stifle another top-end big in the country in Kansas’ Hunter Dickinson and the Jayhawks had no answers and I think Marquette keys in on Edey and eliminates him as an option for this Purdue offense. All in all, I think this ends up being an entertaining matchup, but I look for Marquette to get the cover and potential outright win here.
